Taking Up the Slack

Angela Allard of West Lebanon balances on a slackline as her boyfriend, Eric Monroe of West Lebanon, watches at Colburn Park in Lebanon, N.H., on April 24, 2014. Allard and Monroe set up their slackline a couple times a week, often at Colburn Park. "It's really a good core workout," said Monroe, "You'll feel an ache in your stomach later, and it feels like you had a good laugh a few hours before."
